  “Great Creole restaurant with an awesome vibe! Came here on a weeknight. I made sure to make reservations ahead of time, since the restaurant tends to be busy. The place was crowded, but we got a table on the second floor right away. For appetizers, we ordered the Honey Chili Brussels Sprouts and the Cajun Shrimp Skewers. Both were delicious with a ton of flavor. 5/5 for appetizers. For my entree, I had the Cornmeal-crusted Black Sea Bass. It was also really good. The fish was seared perfectly, the vegetables and lemon butter sauce combined with it perfectly. 4.5/5 for entree. For dessert, we shared the Hummingbird cake. I enjoyed the cake filling, which was coffee flavor, more than the rest of the cake. 4/5 for dessert. I think next time I might order the Beignets or Bread Pudding. The atmosphere gets a 5/5 for me. And the service was very good. I think this is a great restaurant to experience the New Orleans vibe without leaving NYC.”

  “This spot is just ok. The tacos was basic and so was the nachos. The short ribs ragu wasn't flavored the way I'm used to short ribs being flavor differently. The host was amazing and so was our waiter.”

  “Thanks to a very mild Nor’easter, my trip to NOLA was grounded two weeks ago. I craved the essence of New Orleans and so I went on a search for a bit of New Orleans in the city. I came across File gumbo bar and 1803 on Instagram and the two restaurants are within walking distance of each other. Naturally, I made reservations for both as I absolutely have to try both restaurants. We visited File Gumbo Bar first for brunch. We had an amazing time. The food, atmosphere, and service were all what we expected of a restaurant with such great reviews. After brunch, we walked over to 1803 for drinks, appetizers, and good conversation while we played catch up in the city. The restaurant exterior seemed promising, tall elegant windows and an inviting ambiance. On the inside however, the vibe was just completely off as soon as we walked in. The establishment is very small. The tables are cramped next to each other and the chairs reminded me of my seat in my kindergarten class. Very small and uncomfortable. The music play list was 1970s funk, not what you’d expect at a NOLA themed establishment. And there was a musky smell in the air. We were seated near the restroom. It smelled like dirty mop or mold. Just not good. We opted for regular tap water and received a bottle with a branch in it. My first inclination was that it was probably mint, but there was no smell or taste of mint to the water. Slightly off putting. We opted for the Hurricane as a drink and ordered Chargrilled Oysters, Ribs, and Mac n Cheese for our appetizers. The Hurricane looked like what you’d expect to see when you order one at a NOLA establishment, and it was quite potent. The chargrilled oysters were flavorful but very little meat to it. The Mac n cheese was just OK. The ribs were very tender, and the sauce was sweet with a hint of spice, but the meat was a bit dry. We left about half of each dish behind. No interest in taking home any of the left overs. Towards the end of our meal, a waitress, who was not our original server, asked us how everything was. We asked for the check. She brought the check over and hovered over us. Our original server came back and processed our payment. After paying and tipping, we rose from our table to leave. The manager wished us a good evening but also asked the hovering waitress if we paid our bill. That was extremely rude. This experience absolutely paled in comparison to our amazing brunch at File Gumbo Bar earlier. If you are seeking a fun relaxing brunch vibe with amazing food, great live jazz, and professional service, go to File Gumbo Bar just a few streets down instead. Our first and last visit to 1803 was so disappointing.”

  “The staff was beyond welcoming, attentive and friendly. The Oysters were beyond disappointing! Nothing like Drago’s in New Orleans. The meat of the oyster’s were so small there was almost nothing there to eat but the sauce, which was good but there was little meat there was; shriveled! Please don’t order the oysters. I should have sent them back immediately. The bread was soft and nicely toasted but no butter. The ribs were fall off the bone tender but it needed MORE seasoning! They needed , heat, spice and or citrus. They needed something to balance out the sweetness.brought mine home and reseasoned them with garlic and jalapeño, and added Adobo. The best thing to me was the gumbo. Again more seasoning! What do they have against onion, garlic and Tony’s. Finally the bread pudding top with butter pecan ice, delicious! I finished it right there.”

  “The service was great! Everyone was friendly, from our server to the food runners. The food was overall good. The charbroiled oysters were delicious, and the Brussels sprouts could have been cooked a little longer, but they tasted great. For our mains, the sauce on the Branzino made it a bit soggy, and the short rib Ragú pasta could have been a bit more al dente. Sorry for the very opinionated review, but it’s with good intentions.”
